Somewhere in Coral Springs FL

We had a shooting assignment in my camera club to do a photo series, with some limits. The required limit was using the same focal length in all images. The other one I chose was "in camera double exposure."

 

I have gone through a lot of emotional ups and downs in the past several weeks, and decided to do self portraits to convey my feelings, emotions and vulnerabilities.

 

So there are six in the series. I used my Lensbaby Velvet 56, and with each double exposure, I also moved while the shutter was open to create more of an abstract effect. I will be posting them, interspersed with my other posts.

Belle was busy defending the nest from the Black Kite invader. It eventually moved on but no doubt will keep returning.

No time for photography this weekend. I have been cleaning up the back garden after the water board did the sewer re-lining. What a mess they left!

Sea Defence at New Brighton

One of the most recent coastal fortifications to fall. This castle built in 2014 fell the same afternoon after being subjected to a gentle but determined battering from the waves as they came ashore. Sadly the place where it once stood is now lost in the mists of time and only this photo remains as a record of its existence. :-)

Textures are my own

Cresswell Beach, poor sunrise but you always get something no matter what the weather down the coast

Only 4 in my theme this week Defences. In defence of our freedom Battle of Britain Flight at Airbourne Air Show, Eastbourne, Eat Sussex, UK. Taken from Beachy Head in 2012.

Groynes are a popular form of sea defence on the Norfolk coast. Coastal erosion is a particular problem in Overstrand and along the North Norfolk coast. Predictions of future sea level rise due to climate change are only likely to exacerbate this.

Number 2 in my Defences theme for this week. Ranthambore Fort, India taken in 2002.

The sea defences at Torcoss were built in 1979 in response a huge storm when the waves went over the top of the seafront houses causing major damage and the main road that runs parallel to the beach has been washed away a few times causing big transport headaches .Some of the seafront buildings are still under repair from Storms that have happened over the last few years .....Torcross,Slapton Sands,South Hams,South Devon,England

An image of IIIIIIII at La Defence, Paris, France.

 

I thought the strong vertical stripes and the street furniture, made for an interesting abstract composition, I had previously processed this in colour, but think it works really well in mono?

 

Its actually a ventilation shaft for the Paris RER line :)

Disappointment again! I managed to get this image shortlisted in this years LPOTY competition but learnt on Friday that it had not made it through to the book. This was taken at Low Hauxley last winter.

I went through a phase of being addicted to tower defence games, and these sprinklers remind me of them so much. Pew pew pew!
